Skimlinks adds tracking to some, primarily retailers' links, to show they come from this forum. For some retailers, instead of using Skimlinks to turn the link into a tracked link, we use affiliated links set up through other third parties. Then if it generates revenue from that, this site is paid. The links don't change the content, or what you see or track individual data ? but they do help fund this free forum. So we hope you choose to switch it on. See the full Skimlinks factsheet for more.

We just moved into a new house and the bottom oven(larger one) doesn't work, the lady selling the house did say about this.

We noticed that what we thought was the grill(top small one) is a oven as well, we cooked lasagne and chips in this yesterday and it took ages!

The oven is electric and the 5 hobs on the top of the unit are gas, we are happy with the hobs but looking at double ovens or if we can replace the double oven with just 1 bigger oven as cooking roast dinners etc is going be harder to do.

we have seen argos have some for around £250 which is cheaper compared with currys at about £500 ish, there is nothing about fitting ovens and unsure if this is a big job to take out and replace?

Its usually something fairly simple that prevents an oven working.
Get you make & model number together & get on Google or YouTube.
Of course don't forget to isolate the electric supply before you start poking about !!

Thanks, got a little issue as there is no brand on the oven and looking online I cant see any that look the same lol, there is no manual as already in this house. again when we went the previous owner mentioned about part not working but its the main big oven.

Looking on currys we have seen one for £220 and £250 as well as Tesco direct, currys say £90 to fit but if its very simple then we would do our selves, just unsure with it being fitted.

Also not thinking much of it as we remember the previous owner saying some part didn't work, I cleaned both ovens out with a oven cleaner spray, the top of the bottom oven was caked in stuff on the top and when I cleaned a small piece came out with was mushroom shaped and small, like a plastic screw. The element thing is on the back so no where near that.

Well went into currys and turns out there was different height sizes it's a 60cm across and 71cm height, most seem to be 70cm heinghy but our current one is 71cm?, also they said is it plug or wired, I'm guessing it's wired as we just press the red on button on the wall.

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
